the tariff question. Senator Colquitt, OF
Georgia is one of the champions
of the common Democratic idea of
tariff for revenue only, but there Is q strong
element in that state who are SO violently

already planning formal opposition to the
senator's reelection next year, and in order
to give the movament good start they

Atlanta, Senator Colquitt's home, and 1t is

ANOTHER TRAIN ROBBERY.
A Southern Pacific Train Stopped and the
Express Car Plundered.

Express Car Plundered.
A West-bound express train on the South
ern Pacific railroad was stopped and robbed
by several men at Papago station, eighteen
miles east of Tucson, Ariz. Harper, the en-
gineer, when approaching Papago, was sig
nailed by red lantern to stop. He slowed
down, and as he approached the light no.
ticed distractions which would have derailed
the engine had he not stopped. The rob-
bers, variously estimated at from five to
eight in number fired several shots into the
express car and a man with pistol in each
hand boarded the locomotive and COM
manded Harper not to get down. The other
robbers had, in the meantime been prying
open the express car and, failing to get it
open, they placed a stick of giant powder
under it and compelled Harper to light the
fuse attached. This he was obliged to do, but
to avoid being blown up the messenger
opened the car and the robbers took posses
sion. After extinguishing the fuse they
then took charge of the car, uncoupled the
engine, baggage and express car from the
remainder of the train and made Harper get
on the engine and pull ahead two lengths.
Thisl being done, Harper was again put off
and the robbers took charge of the engine
and pulled six miles toward Tucson. Here
they skilled" the engine and left it. During
the run the robbers went through the mail
and express cars, but did not get more than
5000 from Wells, Fargo & Co. They got
two packages of railroad money, one s., 2lO
and one Of $780, and also two packages of
postage stamps going to the postoffice at San
Francisco. None of the passengers were
molested, and some of them knew nothing
of what was going on.

THE WORLDS WAY,
MINNA IRVING.

bird on blossomed spray,
In the heart of the golden weather,
Sat singing the livelong day,
As my love and together
Went down by the violet way,
Ny love with the dark and the dreaming
eyes,
Starry and still as the midnight skies.
Under the bare. brown spray,
With eaten and rain-beaten feather,
Songless the dead bird lay
Where my love and together
Had walked in the green of May.
And pined for the light of his starry eyes,
And answered the moan of the wind with
signs.
Another bird on the spray
Sang in the crystal weather,
As my love and one day
A new love-walked together,
From the violets fringing the way,
Or the azure deeps of the summer skies
He had borrowed the blue of the laughing
eyes.
All new bird on the spray,
To sing in the gay green weather,
And new love every day,
And heart as light as a feather,
That is the old worlds way.
Scattered the dust of the dead bird lies,
Forgotten the light of the dead loves eyes

and beard were both snow-white and each

of landscape which until then had never

solemnly sworn that there was no part Of
the country, for at least ten niles, which 1
had not many times explored.
We had entered hollow flank on three
sides by nigh mountains and only accessible
at the point where we were passing. We
walked on with great swiftness for few
moments, and then the hollow widened in a
round, level valley like an amphitheatre.
In the centre of this we paused and my
guide signed for me to look about me. In
utter amazement did so.
On one side of the valley. pouring, appar-

ideal. Of course I fell in love with her at
once. My notions and whims concerning
women in general did not please her at first,
for, like all who are possessed of fine, self
critical natures, she believed herself vastly
inferior to every one else But she soon set
down my fancies as the honestly meant but
erratic vagaries of a dreaming philosopher,
and so her love and kisses were not long
denied me.
One day she was sitting on the gnarled root
of a great shade tree and l was lying in the
grass at her feet. 1t was summer; the air
was warm and full of the voice of birds and
bees, and was full of love and admiration
for pretty Nichette, who was making fun of
my frequent rapturous compliments. At last
feigning petulance she made a pretense of
kicking me, whereupon snatched off one of
her dainty little slippers and refused to sur
render it until she promised to behave bet
ter.
But she would not promise, and so with
mock gravity 1 lay holding her slipper in
dead silence. She sat watching me for two
or three minutes, and then suddenly bent
over me and asked what was thinking
of that made me so grave.
OpHNlol, dHSWereu, Sepulcnrdlly.
Jumping up she rescued her slipper and
put it on.
oblivion !" she echoed, trying to croak it
out as dismally as 1 did. "Ah, me! That
comes of thinking when you have an empty
stomach. / go this instant for refresh
ments."
And then laughing and kissing her fingers
to me she darted away.
l watched her out of sight, thinking all
the while that was the most fortunate man
on earth to have won the love of such a
woman. Wondered if she thought 1 was in
any sense in earnest when told her that was
thinking of oblivion. Even joking about it
seemed like an insult to her. Oblivion, in
deed, when Nichette was minei
oblivion bestows more than you think If
you have only the sense to rightly employ
it," said low voice at my SIDE
thought that must have been thinking
aloud and that some one happened to be near
enough at hand to overhear me. Turning
my head, looked up into such a face as l
had often seen in classical art-pieces, but
never before in life.
Sitting on the very root where Nichette
had been was an old man with very hand
some dark eyes and with cheeks as fresh and

more or less of oblivion. TO plunge in
yonder waterfall is to drown memory alto
gether, and also comprehension. You would
not, then, know at one moment what
had taken place in the previous moment.
Oblivion thus is punishment since
the kind Of existence it permits is pain
and torture at their utmost. Oblivion
as blessing is what comes to one upon en-
tering paradise. Then, of course, though,
being only in his spiritual state, mans sweet
est raptures are already past. To enter the
water of oblivion sufficiently that all your
past is wholly dead and forgotten is to enter
paradise in flesh and blood. Then, with per-
feet companions, you go on, forever, if you
will, in unchanging youth in an existence of
unalloyed bliss innocence and perfection.
Perfect as seem these women who have Just
left u.s. you shall have as your future COM
panion and wife one whose PROJECTIONS as
compared with these are as full daylight and
sunshine are to midnight blackness. The
waters of oblivion can give you this, and
fame also; fame, too, such as no man ever
had before. Will you partake of them?'
The music, the perfume, the dancing
maidens who were now returning, dazzled,
bewildered, intoxicated me.
81 will partake," cried out, madly; 81
will partake, want this promised perfect
life"
Slowly the maidens danced themselves
back into the temple. Each bore in onehand
q crystal cup, containing water from the fall
across the valley.
"These maidens," said the old man, "are
the daughters of women who feared for their
daughters virtue and innocence in their yet
untried futures. These mothers prayed that
absolute safety might come to their beloved
daughters, and these prayers are mine to an
swer. The maidens come here, the waters of
oblivion blot out their past recollections
and here they live on, forever, in sacred
purity and peace"
My guide then took me down from the
dais, and we stood among the maidens.
Snow, my son." said the old man, "the
moment for the change in your life has come.

In my childhood was almost entirely with
out playmates and so took to books instead
of to trinkets, and my elders were foolish
enough to encourage my abnormal tastes.
Consequently, when was a young man of
fifteen, was at a loss to understand why the
women saw in life were so unlike the lovely
creatures who figured in the books 1 had
read.
A little later, when my preferences enforced
my drifting into the various and inviting
channels of art, 1 saw that art women, as
well as book women had but little in COM
mon with the women of everyday life. I
can scarcely say that I was disappointed-I
was only puzzled. 1t seemed to me that there
was something wrong about both the real
and the ideal women. There was much in

and instincts of men; and there was, also,
much in each which men of fine natures
must necessarily deplore. If women, the
women whom men were to have for wives,
mothers, sisters and friends, could only have
the best attributes, and none of the faults, of
both real and ideal women, there, indeed,
would be sufficient reason for turning ones
back on Heaven and basking in the glory
and spie1lIl0r 0f woman instead. The danger
of this is, perhaps, the reason why women
are as they are, and not as they might be;

not to be encountered in this life.

The Highest Church In Europe.
Bundner Tagblat

The very highest church in Europe is
the pilgrimage chapel OF the 81. Maria de
ZiEsit, sbove Salux, in the Canton Of
Graubunden. II lies 2434 meters above
the sea level-nearly 5000 feet high above
the forests, near the limits OF perpetusl
snow. 1t Is only open during the sum
lner time of that region--or, as the folk
therea5out recko", from St. John the
Eapti5t'5 day to s.. Michsel's day-and
is used only By the Alherders, who re-
maln there through the summer with
their cows and goats, and coca
si0nally by hundreds in search
OF the chsmois and mar
mot All the inhabitants of SaluX climb
up thither on midsummer dsy to assist at
the 1irst mass and TO hear the first SER
mon OF the year, and there is also q
crowded congregation on MichGelmas
day, at the last service Of the year. From
time to time few stray pilgrims from
the Graubunden Overland and the Tyrol
find their wsy there. The second highest
church probably in Europe, that of Mon
stein, also open only in the summer, be
longs to GraubUnden. At our visit the
hale old preacher had five foreign tourists
